Chapter 167: The Battle of Naturalization Reconnaissance of Baotou

The eastern and southern sides of the city were attacked, but the Mongol soldiers on the northern and western walls only heard the sound of shells exploding from both sides, but they had not yet been hit, and did not know what it was like to be covered by a large number of shells. When they heard the news that the east and south gates had been breached, they immediately organized their cavalry to rush in two directions. They knew that if they were broken, there would be no point in them guarding them. So their brigade collided with Prince Tori's men, although many of Prince Tori's men were armed with muskets, but they made a mistake, they were red-eyed when they killed, and they forgot all the tactics they usually practiced to cooperate with each other. In this way, in the face of the numerical superiority of the Chahars and the onslaught of cavalry, they were stopped alive in the center of the city, having been attacking smoothly.

At this time, Wanhu, who led the troops, rushed out and was rescued by the Chahar people who came to support. The return of this Wanhu has increased the morale of these Chahar people. The two armies fought together, killing the sky and the earth, and it was really a mountain of corpses like a sea of blood. On the one hand, Prince Tori wants revenge, and on the other hand, they must fight to the death in order to stay alive. At this point, death is already a simple matter, and no one is afraid of it.

However, Wan Hu, who fled back, knew that his own people had only resisted it temporarily, because what he saw was that it was the Tumut Mongols who were fighting with them. Those Han people with terrifying weapons would not be able to resist them if they came. So he immediately told the Mongol leaders in charge of the west and north that they were ready to organize a breakthrough from the north. The two Mongol leaders were very puzzled. One said, "My lord, we are not falling behind now, and if we exert ourselves, we will be able to repel them." That means the situation can be reversed.

Wan Hu said: "Stupid thing, it was the Tumuts who fought with us in front, and when the Han people came, we had no chance!" ”

When the two of them heard that the Han people were coming, they didn't want to leave. One gritted his teeth and said, "We are going to kill all the Han people." Without them, the Tumuts would have been our slaves long ago. No Han Tumut would dare to fight like this with us. ”

This Wanhu picked up the whip on the faces of the two people, and whipped it twice, knowing that it was useless to say anything, he ordered: "If you don't listen to my order, kill your head immediately!" ”

The two leaders had no choice but to ignore the battlefield in front of them and went back to organize nearly 10,000 cavalry. They quickly rushed to the north gate, came to the gate, and ordered it to be opened. The cavalry rushed out of the north gate.

The soldiers of Prince Torrey, who were outside the north gate, were angry because they couldn't enter the city to kill the enemy to take revenge, and they heard the shouts of killing from afar in the city, which made them all restless. When they found the north gate open, they knew that the opportunity had come. However, the gunners of the five heavy machine guns sent by Liu Yun who were responsible for blocking the North Gate were also anxious to wait, and when they saw the North Gate open, their hands trembled with joy.

When the Mongol cavalry of Chahar rushed out of the city gate, five heavy machine guns opened fire together. As soon as the Mongol cavalry rushed out of the city gate, they would fall to the ground with their men and horses and their flesh and blood from heavy machine gun bullets. But the cavalry rushed and could not be restrained at once. The front of the door was quickly piled up with the corpses of horses and men. At this time, the heavy machine gun shooters realized that they had made a mistake, they should let the cavalry out a little bit, let the cavalry come out a little more, and then fight. The result of this battle was to block the cavalry in the city again on the mountain of cavalry corpses.

The cavalry of Prince Tori behind the machine gun shooters were even more angry, they thought that this time they could finally let go of their hands and kill once, but they did not expect that all those who came out were killed by the terrible heavy machine guns, and the rest were blocked in the city and could not get out.

Liu Yun heard the news that a cavalry had broken through from the north gate, and he knew that the defenders in the city had completely lost their fighting spirit. He gave orders to the two regiments that had stormed the city and occupied the east and south walls, ordering them to attack quickly and occupy the north and west walls as soon as possible, and sent two cavalry regiments into the city to help Prince Torrey in the battle.

After receiving the order, the two regiments on the city wall set up mortars and began to bombard, and then pushed heavy machine guns and began to strafe, covering the infantry step by step.

The Mongol soldiers armed with bows and arrows and scimitars had never seen such a formation, let alone resist. These Mongolian warriors, who were not afraid of death, broke down and ran faster than anyone else. It seems that there are still no warriors who are not afraid of death.

The two infantry regiments of Yaogang made surprisingly rapid progress on the city walls, and soon occupied the surrounding walls.

Before the Wanhu and cavalry rushed out of the north gate, they were beaten back. He led his horse to the city gate, and saw that the gate was blocked by the dead bodies of men and horses. It's too late to clean up this mountain of dead bodies. Besides, you may not be able to rush out after cleaning up. He immediately ordered to rush out from the west gate. A large number of people and horses came to Simon again. They opened Simon and rushed out. However, Simmon's heavy machine gunners did not agree with them to rush out, and as a result, they suffered numerous casualties and had no way to rush out. This Wanhu knows that there is no way to get out today. The people who attacked the city were more prepared than he was for the defense of the city. But he was really not convinced, the battle was not fought like this, which made people unable to exert their strength at all.

The ten thousand households looked at the surrounding city walls, which were already occupied. He knew that he would definitely die today, and needless to say, whether those Han people could let him go, even those Tumut people would not let go of him. Too many Tumuts died at the hands of the Chahars. There are no women and children killed by the Chahars in many tribes of the Tumuts, and it is impossible for them not to take revenge.

The man laughed loudly and said, "My warriors, let's fight to the death today!" If we are caught by the Tumertes, we will die even worse, fight!"

"Fight!" These Chahar Mongol soldiers rushed into the street again with a shout.

Prince Torrey, who had already killed the red-eyed, saw that another large group of cavalry was rushing over, and immediately organized his own cavalry to meet him. Mixed with the sound of "bang" muskets, as well as the sound of blades colliding, the war horse stepped in the bloody water, and it was another bloody battle.

However, with the participation of the two cavalry regiments led by Li Kui to Yaogang, the battle soon came to an end.

At this time, Prince Tori was already covered in blood, and he had several injuries on his body, but he was still holding on. When he saw Li Kui coming, he knew that the battle was decided, and he couldn't support it, so he fell off his horse, and he didn't fall to the ground because of the support of the soldiers next to him.

Li Kui ordered Prince Torrey to be sent out of the city for medical treatment, and continued to command the cavalry to participate in the battle.

The cavalry of the kiln gang is an automatic rifle in hand, and it is basically a point fire at the target. At first, the Chahar Mongol cavalry rushed forward one after another with strong recklessness, but when they found that the Yaogang cavalry was slowly advancing in line, and the weapons in their hands were spewing fire, knocking down their Anda like mowing grass in rows, and then bravely they saw that they were facing a hopeless, one-sided massacre, they began to collapse.

Even though the leaders behind him slashed a few retreating cavalry with their swords, they still couldn't contain a large number of retreating cavalry. The army was defeated like a mountain, and the leaders of the Chahar tribes and the ten thousand households were also powerless. I had to mix in the defeated army and flee with the defeat. But they were already surrounded by people, and where could they escape? Those who were lucky were captured by the Kiln Man. Whoever is unlucky enough to meet Prince Tori will become a ghost.

This time, Prince Tori listened to Ouyang He's words and did not kill the prisoners, however, it was because they did not keep the prisoners at all.

In this bloody battle, less than 2,000 Chahar Mongol soldiers were captured. This also includes some wounded soldiers.

After the battle, the kiln men left two regiments to guard the city wall. After clearing the north and west gates, the task of cleaning the battlefield was entrusted to Prince Torrey's men. The rest of the Yaogang team withdrew from the city and returned to their camps.

After Li Kui returned to the camp, he obviously had not calmed down from the excitement, and after dismounting, he saw Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He drinking tea in a high place. Now it seems that the tofu dregs are one. ”

Ouyang He smiled and said: "You are holding automatic rifles, people are holding scimitars, and besides, they were suddenly blinded by us, and the big stone hard crossbows prepared by them in the city are useless." Is it not tofu scum that the gap is so big? ”

Chen Yufeng also said: "You didn't see it. Prince Tori and they were armed with muskets, didn't they fight them in the city? You also take sabers to fight against them, they are not tofu scum? ”

Li Kui understood the reason, he took the bowl and poured a few bowls of water, wiped his mouth and said: "Prince Torrey's Mongolian cavalry, as soon as the fight started, they forgot what tactical cooperation. The last time he attacked the Mongolian camp that blockaded Daqingshan, he found out that they had this problem, and Liu Yun reminded them that if they didn't pay attention, they would suffer a big loss. ”

Prince Tori finished treating his wound and rested for a while, then he had a little energy and came over in a sway.

Ouyang He got up and said, "Your Royal Highness, you are injured, why don't you rest?" ”

"This little injury is nothing, today finally gave us Tumut a breath of relief, it's really painful!" Prince Tori said.

"The task of cleaning up the battlefield will be left to your people, and you will be tired." Chen Yufeng said.

"They haven't been fighting outside the city, and they've made a bargain, so they should be happy." Prince Tori said.

"The corpses in the city should be cleaned up as soon as possible, and they should be pulled out of the city, and all the wood on the shelves should be burned. and it shall be hot, lest it cause pestilence. Then the city is to be washed with water and sprinkled with lime. After cleaning up, let's go into the city again! Ouyang He said.

"The corpses are easy to do, leave them on the grassland, and they will be eaten by wolves in a few days." Prince Tori said.

"That's tens of thousands of corpses! How many wolves can eat it all? Ouyang He asked.

"Haha! You don't know, this wolf is amazing. If a large number of carcasses are found, wolves from all over the steppe will gather. I don't know how they were notified. The wolves will be overwhelming when they come. But at this time, if people don't mess with wolves, they generally don't mess with people. After eating the corpses, they themselves scattered. "Strange to say," said Prince Torrey, "wolves from other places are not allowed to cross the line here, but this is an exception. It's like going to a feast. ”

Li Kui was interested when he heard it, "There is such a bustle, can we go and see it?" ”

"It's better not to go, let the wolves deal with it themselves!" Prince Tori said, "Tomorrow my people will be able to arrive, and they will help clean up the bloodstains in the naturalized city." ”

At this time, Liu Yun came over and said, "Uncle Shi, Mr. Ouyang!" We interrogated the captives, and the head of Chahar, Ezhe, was not in the city, and he probably went to pick up the Qing soldiers! ”

"Qing Bing?" A hint of nervousness flashed in Prince Tori's eyes, and it quickly passed.

"Yes, I need to clean up the city of Guihua as soon as possible, and then enter the city to prepare to deal with Ezhe and the Manchu army." Ouyang He said: "We have received information that Azig, the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with a white flag, wants to lead troops to help the Chahar people unify Monan. It is estimated that they will not only bring Qing soldiers, but also the Mongols from Horqin. Because they know that our Yaogang people have already sent troops, they will definitely take into account dealing with us. So they came this time with a lot of people. We still prepare as early as possible. ”

Prince Tori knew that the matter was serious, but when he thought of the weapons of the kiln gang people today, he was not afraid, "Don't be afraid, with you kiln gang people, no matter how many people they come, they are not afraid." Let them be completely defeated, and our steppe will be stable. ”

"With our current strength, it's okay to run them away, but it's not easy to wipe them out. So we need to be ready now, take advantage of our naturalization, attract them to the city and consume them, and then wait for the opportunity to attack and run them away. Ouyang He said: "It's not the best policy to go head-to-head with them. ”

"We Tumuts are completely at your command." Prince Tori knew that at this time, he had to rely entirely on the kiln people.

"Reward the soldiers in the evening." Chen Yufeng said to Liu Yun: "Let Li Jing and them go out for a spin." You can't be careless at night. ”

Liu Yun said: "Don't worry, uncle, we have made a plan to deal with various situations. ”

Early the next morning, Chen Yufeng summoned everyone over for a meeting. At the meeting, Chen Yufeng ordered Li Jing and Li Kui, with Prince Tori's guide, to lead a regiment to Baotou to conduct armed reconnaissance. The task is to understand the situation of the defenders and the city defense there.

Another cavalry regiment was sent out to take out armed patrols to the east with a radio.

After receiving orders from Huang Taiji, Azig integrated more than 10,000 Manchu cavalry with the white flag and 30 Niu Lu with the white flag, as well as more than 50,000 Mongolian soldiers with two banners, to prepare for war. In late March, when the grass was green, they swore together and set off.

Together with the transport team of men and horses, more than 100,000 people, marching mightily on the grassland in early spring, it is very spectacular. Azig and his generals were full of confidence, and they always believed that the defeat of the Red Banner was entirely due to the fact that Abatai had been attacked by the Han Chinese. As long as they can fight on the battlefield, the Qing warriors who have practiced martial arts since they were children can defeat ten cowardly Han people, which is their firm understanding since childhood. By their side, they could casually break into the homes of the Han people at night and rape their women, and the Han people did not dare to resist. If it weren't for the new Khan's Emperor Taiji prohibiting such a thing, they would still be able to bully the Han people at will.

Now the Han people dare to beat the Manchurians and flee, it is a big joke. This time they did not pay any attention to the Tumuts who were about to be conquered.

Speaking of the Ezhe of the Chahar Department, when he got the news that the Han people had come out of the customs again, he knew that the Han people came out with so many people this time, and they must have sent troops to help the Tumuts deal with themselves, and it was definitely not just a matter of transporting some supplies. According to the combat power shown by the kiln gang people last year, it is difficult to confront tens of thousands of kiln gang people with their own strength. Only wait for the Qing soldiers to arrive. However, he was still very confident in sending heavy troops to guard Naturalization and Baotou. Those cities have been carefully prepared, and there should be no problem holding on for a year and a half. Ezhe himself had to wait in the Chahar region to meet the Qing soldiers, although he would inevitably be ridiculed by the Baylors. But let the Manchu soldiers die for themselves, and they have to admit it if they are a little angry. One day, when your sphere of influence expands and your strength becomes stronger, it is not necessarily who ridicules whom.

At this time, Ezhe himself couldn't have imagined that the naturalization that he thought was absolutely unbreakable was completely captured in half a day, and all of his more than 30,000 people and horses were annihilated.

It wasn't until the fourth day after the naturalization was defeated by the kiln gang people that Ezhe knew that the naturalization had been lost.

There was no news of naturalization for three or four days, and Ezhe, who was not at ease, sent people to check on the plan, but encountered a cavalry patrol from Yaogang on the way. Several of the people sent out were killed, and after several people who ran back reported the situation, Ezhe felt that the situation was not good. But even so, he didn't think that naturalization could be lost. He sent people to Naturalization to reconnoiter in several ways, and finally got the exact news that Naturalization had been occupied by the Yaogang and Tumut people, and this thunderbolt almost made Ezhe faint. The naturalized ones are all the elite people of the Chahar Department, and the ten thousand households in charge of guarding the naturalization are also battle-hardened generals who follow them. How could they all be wiped out, and there wasn't even a single messenger left? This made Ezhe really unacceptable.

But this is the truth, and there is no way to accept it. The prison army sent by Huang Taiji looked at Ezhe's eyes full of contempt. However, although Ezhe was as uncomfortable as a thousand arrows piercing his heart, he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, especially at this time, Ezhe didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction.

Ezhe calmed down for a while, and suddenly thought of Baotou, I don't know what happened there. There are still more than 20,000 people in Baotou, and they can't lose all their capital. Since the kiln gang people can lay down naturalization, they can naturally also lay Baotou. He wanted to withdraw all the soldiers and horses in Baotou. But the prison army disagreed, saying that our army is coming, and your men must hold out until our army comes. The overseers don't care how many of their Chahars die. Helplessly, Ezhe had no choice but to send someone to check the situation in Baotou, if it hadn't been lost, let it be very careful, and it would definitely not be like naturalization.

What made Ezhe feel uncomfortable was that more than 30,000 people were gone, and he didn't know when he didn't get it, let alone why he didn't.

Li Kui likes Li Jing very much, and he is even happier when he goes out on a mission with Li Jing.

Along the way, they sent out to fight the scouts at the front station, and the two of them rode horses and chatted all the way.

Baotou is in the west of naturalization, a straight-line distance of more than 160 kilometers. Li Jing and Li Kui and their light cavalry set off in the morning and arrived in Baotou before dark in the afternoon.

Li Jing and Li Kui discussed and set up camp in advance to rest. Whatever happens, I'll talk about it tomorrow.

Baotou is also called "Baoketu", which means "place with deer" in Mongolian. In the Liao Dynasty, there was Yunnei Prefecture, and in the Ming Dynasty, it had become a nomadic land for the Tumut people. However, the metallurgical textile and ceramic industries here are already very developed. If it weren't for the years of war and destruction, this would be a very rich place.

Li Jing and the others rested all night, and were having breakfast, when the patrol sent out came back to report, and found a group of Mongolian patrols, who looked like Chahars from a distance.

Li Jing asked, "How many people?" ”

"About twenty people."

Li Jing and Li Kui looked at each other, and Li Kui smiled, "Boy, it's up to you!" ”

Li Jing brought a hundred special forces this time.

Gathering special forces, Li Jing said: "There is a patrol of Mongols in front, about 20 people. We went to ambush them, try to use ****. Can't let one go. Remember, those who are officials must be captured alive! Got it? ”

"Understood!" As soon as the special forces heard that there was such a job, their eyes lit up. Li Jing asked people to climb up the tree and used a telescope to observe the direction of the Mongol patrol. Assign tasks instantly. More than 100 people quickly changed into camouflage suits. Li Kui was happy when he saw their camouflage clothes, and his face was smeared like a ghost, "Boy, why do you make it look like a ghost, and you want to scare the Mongols to death?" ”

"Come on, Uncle Kui, if you don't understand, just watch it!" Li Jing didn't have time to explain. He turned around and walked away with someone.

Seeing Li Jing and them disappear into the grass, Li Kui took a breath and said, "No wonder this little rabbit cub is so crazy, it's a little bit of a way!" ”

Li Jing's special forces were divided into left, center and right, and the three parts went around the Mongol patrol.

The Chahar people in Baotou also got the news that the Yaogang people came to the grassland and helped Tumut people to fight, and Ezhe repeatedly instructed the ten thousand households guarding Baotou not to be careless, he had suffered a lot of losses from the Yaogang people.

Although the Qianhu guarding Baotou did not look down on the Han at all, they did not believe that on the grassland, they could still defeat the Mongol iron cavalry. But he still knows it's better to be careful. So he often sent out patrols to patrol. These Mongol patrols also had to come out, and they all knew that the Han people were nothing to fear, they were all cowardly and did not know how to resist. The Han slaves caught on the grassland were more obedient than cattle and sheep. When they heard that they had been sent out on patrol to guard against the Han attack, they thought it was ridiculous. They are the masters on the steppe, even if the Han people come, they can't outrun the Mongols on the steppe. So they come out on patrol to cope with errands.

How did they know that death was approaching them.
